SIR WALTER SCOTT
��Answer
OOUND, sound the clarion, fill the fife! K -' To all the sensual world proclaim, One crowded hour of glorious life Is worth an age without a name.
��546. The Rover s Adieu
A WEARY lot is thine, fair maid,
A weary lot is thine I To pull the thorn thy brow to braid,
And press the rue for wine. A lightsome eye, a soldier's mien,
A feather of the blue, A doublet of the Lincoln green No more of me ye knew,
My Love! No more of me ye knew.
The rose is budding fain ; But she shall bloom in winter snow
Ere we two meet again.' He turn'd his charger as he spake
Upon the river shore, He gave the bridle-reins a shake,
Said 'Adieu for evermore,
My Love ! And adieu for evermore.'
